A chill is in the air!

FINALLY our hideous 95+ degree weather is starting to tame and the first chills are blowing into the mountains here in East Tennessee.  For us at the shop, that means it's time to start preparing for the holidays!  We've so many new patterns coming in every day it's almost impossible to keep up with them!  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall harvest, and of course, our favorite - Christmas!

We're working diligently to get all the patterns loaded here to our site, but boy what an undertaking!  Poor Janet doesn't get up from her computer all day as she is solely responsible for the punch needle patterns right now...and we've got thousands and thousands of them!    New ones daily from our friends Brenda Gervais (Country Stitches), Rachels of Greenfield,  Shaun Williams at Threads that Bind, and more!

We haven't even had time to load all our beautiful new Valdani threads yet - and you'll love the newest additions.  There's about 230 (!!) 3-strand threads and we're just salivating over experiementing with them in our punch needle patterns.  We're planning to rework some of the Rachel's of Greenfield patterns since they are gorgeous and sooo easy with the Valdani threads - so stay tuned for some great new kits coming soon!

We have gotten in our Weeks Dye Works weavers cloth (YUMMY!) and we're expecting some awesome new primitive frames soon from Donnie Francis for all those gorgeous little pieces you're making!

Once we've reworked the Rachels patterns with Valdani we'll also add the fabric "matting" to the kit so you have all you need and you can just add one of Mr. Francis' frames to wrap up a stunning project.

Have we mentioned we LOVE the holiday season!!

Call and come see us soon!  We love all of you and can't wait to see photos of your completed projects!

Ya'll come back, ya' hear?
